Caffeine?: where you ingesting a lot of caffeine? Like 3 L bottles per day of Mountain Dew? Any CNS stimulants like phentermine or Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine)? Check any medications you have consistently taken which have tachycardia as a side effect.

Depends on age & dz: If u r young, w/o heart defects or problems, & have no medical problems, then the fast heart beat of SVT (especially if it's infrequent) shd cause no long term effects. There's no effect on life span unless ur heart can't handle the strain for other reasons (heart disease, congenital abnormality, electrical anomaly, valve problem) which wd have been detected on ECG or echo. So, no need 4 testing.
